About the speaker:
Dr. Yang is a National Science Counsel Chair Professor at the Inst. of Applied Marine Physics and Undersea Technology, Nat. Sun Yat-Sen Univ. Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He spent 32 years working at and has recently retired from the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. His current research focuses on: (1) environmental impacts on underwater acoustic communications and networking, exploiting the channel physics to characterize and improve performance, and (2) environmental acoustic sensing and signal processing issues aimed at improving the effectiveness of distributed networked sensing. In earlier years, he pioneered matched mode processing for a vertical line array, and matched-beam processing for a horizontal line array. Other areas of research included geoacoustic inversions, waveguide invariants, effects of internal waves on sound propagation in shallow water, Arctic acoustics, etc. He is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America.
